In-reply-to » FFS! Can't I just get results, accurate no BS results? No erroneous/misleading AI-Slop of a summary I've never asked for ? I get it, there is plenty of people who LOooove (if not worship) that shit, Good for them! But at least make it opt-in or add in some kind of "Do Not Slop" browser option (as if the "Do Not Track" one made a difference, but I digress). Shit's only going down-hill from here, I might as well as just spin up my own Searx instance and call it a day.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I recommend you to remain curious without crossing the threshold. Unless, of course, you truly want to follow a never-ending rabbit hole. πŸ˜‚

I probably should implement some editing feature in tt. Sure, I can easily edit my feed in vim to fix typos. But then I still have to manually remove the old message from the cache so that the new message is inserted on next reload and I don’t end up with β€œduplicates” in the message tree.

In-reply-to » OpenBSD has the wonderful pledge() and unveil() syscalls:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That sounds great! (Well, they actually must have recorded the audio with a potato or so.) You talked about pledge(…) and unveil(…) before, right? I somewhere ran across them once before. Never tried them out, but these syscalls seem to be really useful. They also have the potential to make one really rethink about software architecture. I should probably give this a try and see how I can improve my own programs.

Speaking of Wine, Arch Linux completely fucked up Wine for me with the latest update.

  • 16-bit support is gone.
  • Performance of 3D games is horrible and unplayable.

Arch is shipping a WoW64 build now, which is not yet ready for prime time.

And then I realized that there’s actually only one stable Wine release per year but Arch has been shipping development releases all the time. That’s quite unusual. I’m used to Arch only shipping stable packages … huh.

Hopefully things will improve again. I’m not eager to build Wine from source. I’d rather ditch it and resort to my real Windows XP box for the little (retro)gaming that I do … 🫀
